Phone right front. Wallet right back.

Keys left front. You can’t keep a phone and keys in the same pocket. Especially not with the size of modern phones.

Consistency means I always know if I’ve forgotten my phone keys/wallet. There’s never searching or wondering where they’ve gone.

At this point … what stops the CVE foundation moving on as a foundation and working to find an alternative funding model?

minus anything obvious

Honestly, not even that.

I’ve been on a hiring panel (for want of a better term) where we interviewed on the ground floor. We all worked up in the building. Post-interview we wouldn’t say anything, we’d just write “yes” or “no” on a piece of paper. In the elevator going back up we’d turn our cards around. It gave a simple litmus test, if we all agreed then we can go to the pub. If we disagree then we find a meeting room and discuss.

To my point. One hire, technically brilliant. They were technically, absolutely the best candidate we’d had for that role. It was clear. We got into the elevator, and all turned around “no”. The candidate was an absolute arse of a person. Clearly the best person for the job. Clearly the last person I wanted to spend 8 hours a day sitting next to. They knew they were fucking good, and they spoke like it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that person, knowing they were good, still goes home and rants about DEI hires or similar. But entirely misses the point on why they were not hired for that role.

If only DEI was that literal. Instead, it allowed companies to discriminate based on race, but to those with left-leaning beliefs, that’s okay as long as it only negatively affects white people, because they deserve it!

That’s a lot of talking with very little to back it up.

I’d like some actual instances of companies that have specifically not hired a qualified candidate because they were white.

And “those with left-leaning beliefs”. That’s me, hand in the air and proud of it. “as it only negatively affects white people, because they deserve it” You’re chatting shit mate. That’s not what I or any of my “left leaning” friends believe.

Because they already believe that you are better because you are white. So two people with equal qualifications, the white is more qualified in their eyes.

Single payer healthcare is fine.

The single payer is the government
